Question 131Gas Turbine - Assistant Engineer70% to pass
What are two common methods of power turbine blade retention?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Bulb and dovetail.
This is the correct answer because bulb and dovetail is a common method of power turbine blade retention used in the marine and aviation industries. The bulb and dovetail design securely locks the turbine blades into the rotor disc, providing a strong and reliable connection.
The other answer choices are not correct. Riveting and fir-tree are not common methods of turbine blade retention. Fir-tree and bolting, while used in some applications, is less common than the bulb and dovetail design. Bulb and bolting is also a valid method, but it is not as widely used as the bulb and dovetail approach.
